After debuting at last year's SEMA Show, the Collision Repair & Refinish
section will return to provide buyers with a dedicated area on the Show floor
where they can quickly and easily meet with major refinish companies, paint
booth manufacturers, parts suppliers and manufacturers, estimating and
management software companies, manufacturers of structural repair and welding
equipment, safety equipment and other related products. The section has been
identified as one of the fastest growing areas of the show, and is on track to
surpass last years' numbers for the 2012 SEMA Show taking place Tuesday -
Friday, October 30 - November 2, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The SEMA Action Network (SAN) announced July 13, 2012 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.”
The date marks the third commemoration in what has become an annual
event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and
collection plays in American society. The SAN is again working to secure
a congressional resolution to recognize the day’s significance.

The U.S.
Senate passed Senate Resolution 452 (S. Res. 452) at the request of the SEMA
Action Network (SAN) designating July 13, 2012 as "Collector Car Appreciation
Day." The date marks the third commemoration in what has become an annual
event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration
and collection plays in American society.

More than 1,700 exhibitors have demonstrated confidence in the 2012 SEMA Show
by confirming booth space for the world's premier automotive trade show, taking
place October 30-November 2, in Las Vegas, Nevada. These exhibitors will select
their locations on the Show floor through the Priority Space Selection process
beginning the end of May.

Nick Arias Jr., Bill France Sr., Mark Heffington and Bob Larivee Sr.
will be inducted into the SEMA Hall of Fame, an honor that recognizes an elite
group of individuals for raising the stature or growth or the automotive
specialty-equipment industry.

Effective communication is critical - whether it's about an order, customer service issue, inventory or a potential sale. Whether it's B2B or B2C, in today's wired business culture, people expect to get answers to their questions immediately.

Hundreds of leaders and professionals from the SEMA industry will gather
to honor noteworthy icons and volunteers during the 2012 SEMA Installation
Banquet & Gala Fundraiser on Friday, July 27, at the Sheraton Fairplex
Hotel & Convention Center in Pomona, California. The annual event serves as
the industry's premier celebration where newly elected Board of Directors are
sworn in and SEMA Hall of Fame inductees are introduced for the first time.

With about 200 days to
go before the 2012 SEMA Show, exhibitors are poised to make a strong and
lasting presence at the annual event taking place Tuesday-Friday, October
30-November 2, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
